A timeless retreat tucked within the prestigious enclave of Royal Oaks and conceived by acclaimed architect A. Jaye Levin, AIA, known for creating homes that reflect a strong sense of community and relate architecturally to their surroundings, this remarkable residence is a masterful expression of light, proportion, and connection to nature. Bathed in natural light from numerous skylights and framed by picturesque greenery, every space feels open, tranquil, and connected to its surroundings. A dramatic beamed ceiling anchors the living room, creating warmth and architectural presence, while designer lighting elevates the dining room to an intimate setting for unforgettable gatherings. Throughout the main living spaces, rich dark wood flooring lends warmth and sophistication, beautifully contrasted by striking black-and-white tiled floors in the entry, kitchen, and family room, echoed by the kitchen's sleek glass tile backsplash. The beautifully appointed kitchen is as functional as it is refined, featuring quartz countertops, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Miele double ovens, and a seamless flow into the entertaining spaces. Plantation shutters add timeless elegance, complementing the home's clean aesthetic. The luxurious primary suite is designed as a true retreat. A separate sitting area with a charming window seat invites quiet mornings with a favorite book, while custom built-in shelving and a desk create the perfect work-from-home or creative space. The spa-inspired primary bath offers dual sinks and a spacious two-person glass-enclosed shower with built-in seating, creating a peaceful escape at the end of the day. A versatile bonus room with its own private entrance offers exceptional flexibility as an office, studio, or gym. Equally captivating, the grounds offer complete privacy amid mature landscaping. Lounge beside the sparkling pool, relax under the cabana, unwind in the above-ground spa, or gather beneath the gazebo around the fire pit as the evening sky comes alive overhead. A tranquil fountain, expansive turf lawn, and breathtaking mountain backdrop complete this serene outdoor sanctuary, ideal for grand entertaining and everyday relaxation. Solar panels further enhance the home's efficiency and modern livability. Perfectly situated south of Ventura Blvd in one of Encino's most coveted neighborhoods, moments from the Westside and within the highly sought-after Lanai SD, this remarkable residence is more than a home; it is an architectural legacy.
